Setup Guide
How to assemble the Access Tec Ramp:
• Firstly, turn the ramp upside down. Locate the 4 holes found on either side of the
ramp, as highlighted by the red circles.
• Slide one of the brackets onto the ramp from the corner, lining up the two holes
found on the bracket, with the two holes found in that corner of the ramp.
• The upper lip of the end of the bracket will extend into the groove under the
ramp side rail.

Setup Guide
• You can then turn the ramp back over.
• Secure each bracket into place with 2x 25mm Hex Bolts, 2x Washers and 2x Lock
Washers (place the Lock Washer and then the Washer onto each Hex Bolt
before screwing in).
• The bolts can be tightened with the Allen key supplied in the kit.
• Repeat this process for all four brackets at every corner of the ramp.
• Next, you want to attach the 4x vertical posts.
• Attach the vertical post onto the ramp, by sliding the holes at the bottom of the post
through the studs on the outside of the ramp.
• Secure this with 2x Washers and 2x Lock nuts, using a 13mm socket.
• Repeat this process for all four vertical posts at each corner.

Setup Guide
• Once the vertical posts are secured, you need to attach the handrails.
• First, remove the end caps so that the handrails can fit through the holes in the
vertical posts (IMG 1).
• The handrails should then be able to slide through, and can be secured by placing
the cap back onto the end (IMG 2).
• Repeat this so that there is an upper and lower hand rail on both sides of the ramp.
• Finally, to secure the handrails in place, fasten with the set screws as
displayed above.

Setup Guide
Fastening the ramp to the landing:
• Place the ramp’s top lip
transition plate so it extends
onto the landing as far
as possible.
If using wooden landing:
• Fasten the top lip transition plate by installing one ¼ “x1” long self-drilling, stainless
steel wood screw (not supplied) through each hole.
If using a concrete landing:
• Use two pre-drilled holes in the top lip as a template to mark the positions to drill.
Using a ¼ masonry bit, drill two holes at the market locations. Drill to a depth
specified by the pin anchor manufacturer’s instructions.
• Use the two pre-drilled holes in the top lip transition plate as a template to mark the
positions and drill two ¼ holes at least 1 ½ deep.
• After drilling, make sure that holes are free of any residue and/or debris.
• Insert the clevis pins (shown below) into the drilled holes through the holes in the
top lip transition plate.
